# The textproc/py-webencodings,python3 port

## py3-webencodings-0.5.1 – character encoding aliases for legacy web content

## Description

    This is a Python implementation of the WHATWG Encoding standard.

    In order to be compatible with legacy web content when interpreting
    something like Content-Type: text/html; charset=latin1, tools need
    to use a particular set of aliases for encoding labels as well as
    some overriding rules. For example, US-ASCII and iso-8859-1 on the
    web are actually aliases for windows-1252, and an UTF-8 or UTF-16
    BOM takes precedence over any other encoding declaration. The
    Encoding standard defines all such details so that implementations
    do not have to reverse-engineer each other.

    This module has encoding labels and BOM detection, but the actual
    implementation for encoders and decoders is Python's.
